I think sometime you couldn't help it and it come naturally. Funny thing is, this happen to me and my friend when I first introduced fret of fire(guitar hero clone on pc) to him. We use keyboard to register input and when I first play it, my friend laugh at me when I automatically shaking my hand to made it look like I was doing a silly vibration. Then guess what, when it is his turn playing, he did the same unknowingly. We laugh it out loud for that.
@@megajareth I respect that lol. I’ve heard so many directors be “I’d rather have a loud player because it’s so much easier to bring it down than make them play louder”
@@henrymaxey9783 dude actually. (I play bari) and like, I… like to follow the dynamics I have to remind the tenor next to me when it’s piano 💀 like dude.
The soprano sax is like a loud blusey oboe. It's a good instrument to take a duo and play mediaeval dance music. However the important thing is that the two saxes should be slightly out of tune with each other (easy with the soprano)
Classical Saxophonist here 🙋♀️I was a little shell shocked when Emma started the video with the Glazunov Concerto teaser. Took me 4 years to learn that piece. My whole life has been "Oh you play saxophone?! I LOVE saxophone! Jazz music is my favorite!!!!" And watching their expression turn to disappointment as I say "....Actually I play classical." 🤡 Great sax lesson, Emma. I felt seen. 🥲
Phoebe roast, man: "Student can't sound that bad" "I think you're being too nice, they sounded terrible" You guys should get her for some show/drama roast-- review
She’s always roasting people. From her first debut in TwoSetViolin in the “Learn the double Bass for 1 hour” to the “Musicians tell why their instruments are the best” video. Sensei Phoebe is such a savage and I’m enjoying her company.
As a clarinetist (once upon a time), Brett's embouchure is actually pretty good! I immediately noticed Eddy making the classic mistake of puffing out the cheeks while blowing; this actually wastes a lot of air and effort. Learning to control that is one of the first big hurdles imo! Well done Brett!
i started band this year (6th grade) i play alto sax the cheek puffing was hard but the real challenge is getting the sweet spot on the reed and mouthpiece
@@marygonzales3148 As long as you keep practicing you will get it soon enough. I used to play tuba so I can't exactly relate but it gets so much more fun to play once you get those kinda things down.
I'm just impressed Emma was able to play without laughing. I could not stop laughing the whole video! But don't worry, as a saxophone player of 5 years I still remember trying to just make a sound
I was in Oregon AllStste Symphonic Band (so not Wind Ensemble lol I'm not that good) recently, and the guest conductor hosting said "I want to show you, AND your parents that anything an orchestra can play you can too." There were LOVELY reed and brass solos, it was so fun to hear.
I'm actually happy Eddy isn't playing the baritone sax, but the tenor. The amount of air he would need to hit the low notes might cause him to be dizzy.
Fellow sax player here, I’ve been playing for 5 years now and I’m still finding ways to improve, making the sax super interesting for me because there’s still so much to learn~
TENOOOORRRRRR!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a fellow tenor sax player… DAMN. It’s really hard to learn saxophone and it takes a lot of hard work. Also the trainers playing is just DAMN. Good job 👍🏽
Emma felt so bad after the last video where they messed up horrendously trying to play famous tunes on the saxophone that she decided to teach them how to play it properly without noise pollution
Yay, TwoSet branching out into non-string territory! The saxophone redemption is so satisfying. You guys are having way too much fun. It's genuinely so interesting learning about instruments I'm not familiar with and getting to know your musician friends. And 'lost at sea', 'overcooked buns'... we love you, Editor-san XD
Ms. Emma is absolutely the loveliest and kindest!!! I enjoyed this episode so much, seeing them trying so hard to successfully play their parts 😂 They never failed to give us a quality content!!!! It's so satisfying to see them hit the note! Congraaats 2set 🤩
if eddy twisted the mouthpiece clockwise a little, he'd probably play like a natural. he's blowing in it crooked and still getting a decent sound around the end. brett just seems to be panicking. he makes a mistake, panicks, makes it worse, panicks, and soon there's only squeeks and silence. 40 hours of practice should fix that right up.
Thanks I really needed this as a confidence booster. I've been feeling a little down about my saxophone playing, but after watching this I feel much better and motivated to play.
you got this!!! i would recommend focusing on either your technical skills (playing tricky passages, playing quickly, etc.) OR the quality of your sound at a time. work on slooowing things down & focus on nailing each note. you will naturally speed up the more you learn it
@@reinhardjurgens6526 just think you mean baritone instead of bass. There is a bass saxophone but it is much less common than the baritone because baritone is part of a sax quartet
I think the sax has the perfect amount of difficulty for the maximum entertainment value. Its not too hard so you actually can play something but it's hard enough for you to screw it up in a glorious way.
Emma is an awesome teacher. My dearest wife got me an alto venova (I wanted cheap casual wind instrument) for Christmas and as someone who played cello all me life and never have played reed instruments, I can totally relate to the struggles yall had in this video. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement that makes me want to keep trying and not give up. From +1 tired man to another.
don't give up!!!! try practicing with just the mouthpiece & focus on your embouchure, tonguing, etc. then work your way up. it will sound silly but it's important to learn the fundamentals before trying to actually play songs
HAHA THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO ACCORDER (I forgot what it’s called in english- but it’s like OH ITS TUNING BAHAHA YES TUNING) so the first time we were tuning, it was a mess
@@arishem555 playing a different instrument when you already play one is actually easier for most musicians. Violin was a bit easier for me since I already play euphonium and Trombone.
@@Checkmate1138 Nah fam, he means eddy. Brett is just squealing which usually happens when you cant blow the low notes due to bad embrochure and the notes eddy is playing are an octave lower.
@@Checkmate1138 yeah, eddy's got a good sound after only playing for a short time. brett's sound wasn't that good, but as a saxophone player myself, i can confirm that it's much harder to get a good sound out of the soprano sax, so he's also doing really well for just starting
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! I play tenor saxophone, I mostly play jazz on sax but I love classical music so that's why I'm here. I'm so proud of these guys! I remember starting out half of my friends couldn't even get a note out😂 Eddy and Brett are so good for beginning. Honestly I couldn't do that much starting out.
The fact that Emma can still produce a good sound while smiling in between notes is awesome. Smiling and laughing completely ruins your emborchure Whenever I saw eddy puff his cheeks I had to try not to laugh
it's always interesting hearing the comparisons between the violin and other instruments. i thought it was really cool when she used bowing to explain how to use breath!
Sax got me through school. Never practiced but ended up as lead in both bands as alto, overcame stage fright soloing in front of the entire school, got the art award, got invited to art school, brought my average up significantly, and now realizing i just abandoned the one thing that supported me when i needed it the most the moment it became unnecessary.. damn.. excuse me while i go shopping for a sax.
I’m a trombone player of five years, but I’ve recently decided that sax is an instrument that I never even considered and that now I need to try it. Don’t worry fellow brassians, I’m not switching, I just want more instruments.
My god... I used to play a tenor, and then I had to quit music for a multiple reasons... Just a couple of days ago I suddenly remembered my sax-past openly, and this realisation was the hardest, though the most joyfull thing. Just now TwoSet reminded me, how unbelivable it sounds and how happy I was playing it... I f*cking need this once again! Why the hell are saxophones so expensive??
Eddy: "oh dude its massive" Editor-san: "he is talking about the saxophone" Can I just say that as someone who is a lot on youtube, I truly think twoset's editor is the best editor I've seen. Their sense of humor is so on point. Even tho only Eddy and Brett are visually in the video, you feel like there are 3 main characters, and one of them breaks the 4th wall in the best way possible, and sort of reacts along with you. Also Editor-san roasting brett and Eddy is my favorite genre😂😭
My partner played clarinet and sax into his thirty's in March of this year, he had a stroke. Music therapy has brought him back. While loss of sensation in his left hand made the clarinet very difficult, the sax has brought him back.
They improved so much so fast!! It's very impressive! I'm planning in forwarding this video to my band teacher from my very first year on band and asking her if I was kind of like this when learning (I learned to play it pretty well surprisingly fast). This was absolutely hilarious and kind of like a throwback to some of my earlier band memories. I learned a couple of good tips on how to improve my embouchure as well! Thank you!
The tired old men are relatable 😂 I didn't know l was anemic when l first started flute, l'd always get super dizzy. 'S all good now, tho, and l *freaking love* playing tenor in Jazz Band
hearing her teach is so soothing because my Saxophone teacher was very chaotic and lived on the principle of 'you already play piano u should know how music works' on the basics and ended up helping me bs my way to my grade 8
They actually did really good for beginners. I was surprised Eddy chose tenor. I agree with Emma that it really suits him. The only thing I would advise for Eddy is to not use so much mouthpiece.
It’s actually a bit heartening today see twoset struggle so much. They’re such good musicians and usually pick other instruments up relatively quickly, this just makes them seem a bit more “normal” lol
Emma is a wonderful teacher and they truly were amazing. Starting with a true beginners piece and scales like any student rather than throwing them immediately in the deep end was fun to watch. I really hope that they explore some brass instruments next! Having a true appreciation for the range and difficulty of different instruments only helps you grow as a musician and enjoy music more!
You know, the best part of learning instruments is that no matter how difficult it is, if you just keep practicing, it becomes instinctive to the point where you don't have to think anymore. You just do it. This video reminds me of those times I struggled learning cello and sax.
EXACTLY! I came here to do the same thing "why is mine not making a sound?" "...probably because you did something wrong.. " These little things are just *chef's kiss*
A question for saxophonists with absolute pitch: since the saxophone is a transposing instrument, how do you read one note and hear a different one? I'm a pianist and it seems so strange...
I learned alto saxophone in 4th grade before any other instrument, so I hear everything in Eb. I have to transpose notes into concert pitch if i wanted to make the note name match the pitch (im working on speeding my conversion time up now that ive taken a music theory course)
Charts (like Real Books or Bird's Omnibook for example) as usually transposed into the correct keys for your horn (Bb or Eb.) If someone sticks some C concert chart in front of you, you'll have to transpose on the fly, a tone up for Bb or minor third down for Eb. Like anything, it can be achieved with enough practice time.
With enough practice, it’s the same thing as “A flat is the same fingering as G sharp” like “pressing 6 keys down on alto sax is D, which is also known as concert F”
I play both the alto saxophone and the piano and if I want to transfer a piece, what I do is remember that C on the alto is Eb on the piano, and then just transfer accordingly. I did this recently with pirates of the Caribbean lol.
Stereotype of Saxophonists is shown by TwoSet: closing eyes while swinging, bending their backs like Ray LOL
Or epic sax guy!
But it's true😂

Love the edits! 😂 Lost ships at sea, +1 tired old man
Emma seems like a great teacher, very patient and encouraging
It’s 80% reed adjustment, 10% ligature adjustment, 9% cleaning, 1% playing
TENOR GANG
They actually did really good for beginners. I was surprised Eddy chose tenor. I agree with Emma that it really suits him. The only thing I would advise for Eddy is to not use so much mouthpiece.
Note to self: sax instructor is the kindest instructor ever.🌻
They are indeed!!
Well, you need so much patience for teaching sax.. normally it takes a long time until the students make some better sounds :D
I think it's just emma, all the sax instructors I've had are terrifying
True
@@kylaho5134 my first teacher was terrifying but he quit so I must of been a really bad student lol
I teach a lot of saxophone, so this was priceless! She did a good job.
I love how she explained it in violin terms so they would understand clearly😂
Emma used to play violin as a kid, but she hated it
Eddie's already got the tenor energy right. Give him a barry and he'll be doing Leo P stuff any day!
Have to like for the mention of Leo P!
B a r r y
it's spelled Bari, you wouldn't spell it barrytone saxophone. Barry's your neighbor, bari is your saxophone. :)
@@S_R1117-m7m Depends on where you're from. It's how its spelled in most of the Germanic languages, and in the original Greek.
@@ericmyrs I had no Idea, my apologies.
It's the most violinist thing ever to naturally want nothing to do with alto 😂😂😂
Why?
@@lrg6212 viola is an alto range instrument
omg she was such a good and sweet teacher, i love when people actually make an effort to teach well c:
Emma was very constructive and overall such a good teacher!!! The end product was amazing!
I love that I immediately recognized Emma's demonstration as the Glazunov piece I played for solo and ensemble last year! Sounded beautiful!
It’s actually a bit heartening today see twoset struggle so much. They’re such good musicians and usually pick other instruments up relatively quickly, this just makes them seem a bit more “normal” lol
It’s oddly fun watching Twoset struggling on wind instruments
Always is, as a woodwind player I find it amazingly hilarious.
Yesss! Woodwind series is hilarious!
Especially the episode with clarinet when he cant even make a proper sound xD
I'VE DONE MY WAITING. 12 YEARS OF IT. Finally, as a saxophonist I really enjoyed it!
There are two types of people -
Emma : you did so good! You are secretly saxophone players
Pheobe : you're being too nice they sound terrible
PLEASE do one of these with Bassoon! We bassoonists are dying to see it happen after the pro vs amateur video haha!
I have been waiting for this series to start for so long
Wind instruments be like:
“That’s it, just get some air through.” ☺️
“More…” 😈
Emma is a wonderful teacher and they truly were amazing. Starting with a true beginners piece and scales like any student rather than throwing them immediately in the deep end was fun to watch. I really hope that they explore some brass instruments next! Having a true appreciation for the range and difficulty of different instruments only helps you grow as a musician and enjoy music more!
Yes I really want them to try and learn a brass instrument too!
My dad is a saxophonist and I showed him this video and then he told me I was grounded LMAOO
lol
Lol Wut bahahahah
4:09 AND WHO SAID MARCHING BAND ISNT A SPORT >:3
I get nervous everytime i watch these guys play a wind instrument because they look like they are going to pass out
You know, the best part of learning instruments is that no matter how difficult it is, if you just keep practicing, it becomes instinctive to the point where you don't have to think anymore. You just do it. This video reminds me of those times I struggled learning cello and sax.
This warms the cockles of my cold dead classical saxophonist heart.
Good one! Lol
I'm not even halfway through but i just HAD TO pause to comment. Editor-san's touches of brilliance are awesome! Props to editor-san :)
EXACTLY! I came here to do the same thing
"why is mine not making a sound?"
"...probably because you did something wrong.. "
These little things are just *chef's kiss*
“Ships lost at sea” 🤣
09:30 they are laughing about him but obviously he is the only one doing the correct and legit saxophone movement while playing
Emma reminds me of my mother, not only because my mom played sax in marching band, but because they’re both sweet and kind.😊
brett: it's like kissing someone
eddy: twoset sexy time
the silent after that kill me 😂
I feel like he tried to make a pun using sexy and sax but it failed 😂
I actually love these puns, they remind me TwoSet older before-PG videos with more adult content (like making fun of composers STDs and such).
4:59 When the teacher isn't at school for a while.
perception: let's make beautiful sax music together
reality/ editor-san: lost ships at sea 3:23
I have played alto sax since the 5th grade and didn’t know about the altissimo register!!
8:50 eddy sounds like hes being forced to play while crying
A question for saxophonists with absolute pitch: since the saxophone is a transposing instrument, how do you read one note and hear a different one? I'm a pianist and it seems so strange...
After a long time you get used to it. When playing I’m thinking in instrument pitch, everywhere else in concert pitch.
I learned alto saxophone in 4th grade before any other instrument, so I hear everything in Eb. I have to transpose notes into concert pitch if i wanted to make the note name match the pitch (im working on speeding my conversion time up now that ive taken a music theory course)
Charts (like Real Books or Bird's Omnibook for example) as usually transposed into the correct keys for your horn (Bb or Eb.) If someone sticks some C concert chart in front of you, you'll have to transpose on the fly, a tone up for Bb or minor third down for Eb. Like anything, it can be achieved with enough practice time.
With enough practice, it’s the same thing as “A flat is the same fingering as G sharp” like “pressing 6 keys down on alto sax is D, which is also known as concert F”
I play both the alto saxophone and the piano and if I want to transfer a piece, what I do is remember that C on the alto is Eb on the piano, and then just transfer accordingly. I did this recently with pirates of the Caribbean lol.
As a jazz saxophonist, this is as if I’m having a classical lesson 😂
As a classical saxophonist Everything she is teaching seems to be right
SAMEEEE
@@littlenuggets6426 A bit surprise that she didn’t point out that Eddy puffing his cheek though
@@hangyuxu3411 there’s something you don’t point out in the begging because once you first start your just trying to make a noise
@@hangyuxu3411 my main thing was that it looked like eddy’s strap was a little to high 😂
Emma is a really great teacher! So encouraging 😍
You both did so well! And Emma is a fantastic teacher (and a lovely person)
Average Elementary school band performance:
10:30 Brett: did I just unlock *j a z z* mode?
Eddy already learned the most important part: it's easy to play sax and dance
“We Try Learning Saxophone in One Hour”
Me (former saxophone player) and rest of saxophone gang: Finally Twoset-senpai has noticed us! 😁🎷
brett knew exactly what was going to happen when he said the tounge touches the tip.
Eddy: **chooses tenor**
Me: **looks across room at my tenor**
**happy saxophonist noises**
This was the best birthday video from Twoset! As a sax player myself, I found this to be very entertaining!
Happy birthday! 😊
@@cyrissiryc5126 Aww thank you, Cyris!
